New iPhone or iPod Touch? Start with These Free Apps

By on Dec 26, 2009 at 2:46 pm

If you’re staring down at your shiny new iPhone or iPod Touch wondering which apps to try first, Here is a list of great applications that I enjoy.

I’ve attempted to include some of the popular free apps, most of which I use often but it isn’t exhaustive by any means. In fact, I welcome you to chime in with your own essentials in the comments of this post.

Happy holidays, and enjoy that new iPhone or iPod Touch!

As you can tell already there is just about an app for everything, you will soon find yourself asking, “is there an app for that” with many things in your life. Some are free and some cost money, but remember Appmodo is here to help you on your decision making process and to keep you informed as to what’s going on in the mobile world plus promo code giveaways so you can get paid apps for free (view our current giveaway).

So, that being said, what apps did you buy for your new iPhone or iPod? Post a comment below and tell us what you got!

    I just got my first Ipod Touch today and I've got to say this list of apps is superb. I'm quite surprised with the variety of apps that are available. For some reason I'm having lots of fun with that UnblockMeFree.

    i got my first ipod touch today also and i installed a few apps and sometimes when i click the app the aww screen comes up and it goes back to the home menu and the apps wont work

    All you new users remember to do a hard restart after installing a new app this will help ensure the app runs correctly on your device. To do a hard restart hold down the home button and the sleep button until you see the Apple logo. It takes about 1:30 sec to complete but it will make everything run smoother.

    if the app is free now will it ever cost me eventually or will it stay free?

  • Jake W.

    If you DL a free app, delete it, re DL it a year later its still free and you wont be charged. Once you have paid for an app you own it forever. Also if there is one or more people in your house that have iPod's or iPhone make sure to use the same acct so if person A DL an app person B on the same iTunes acct can DL it for free. You can have up to 5 devices on one single acct. pretty good deal if everyone likes the app breaks down to 0.19 for an app.

    I'm having the same exact problem! I've looked at ways to resolve that problem and tried them all plus tried some of my own ideas but nothing worked, so my family is getting new computer(we were planning to get one even before I got my iPod)so hopefully it will start working once we get that.

    Tap Tap Revenge 3 is the best app ever :D AMAZING!

    To download the apps all you have to do is click on the link provided and it will automatically take you to the app store download page. I have tested all the links several times and they all take me strait to the app without issues. If you are having trouble linking remember that the links do not take you to a web page but they will open up iTunes and take you strait to the app, if you don't have iTunes installed on your PC or Mac it will not work but it does always work when using your iPhone via the Appmodo app.

  • iTouchOwner

    That happened to me as well I'm pretty sure it's because you download too many apps at once without letting one app finish installing. Just delete all your apps, turn it off and reinstall. It worked for me and I never had that problem again.
